I have had the original US copy which was very confusing for me to grade, since the album was the recorded with the notion of ''Loudness wars''.
I replaced my US copy with this repress (2018 - IRC 2784790) and I must say the pressing sounds wider than the original US pressing. Even though the distorted loud ages from several songs sound the same as the other pressing and the digital version. (most common example: the catharsis multilayered ending of "Shake It Off")
I believe it is hard to grade this pressing as the mastering of the original masters of this LP are quite distorted and loud. I even reading somewhere that the mixing engineer of the album was so overwhelmed with all the layers that are found in the songs.
The other difference from my previous US pressing is the packaging: the US pressing had thin paper sleeves whilst this one has thick cardboard ones. Frankly I prefer the sturdy ones of this version.
The cover artwork also has a greener/bluer tint whilst the US pressing one had a warmer tone: Florence's skin looks paler in this one, even though the rest of the palette looks exactly the same.
[Fingers crossed for a 15th anniversary boxset in 2026... I would very much love that] -
Haven't heard any other pressings, but this sounds very compressed. To me it's not really enjoyable because of this, so I would avoid until there is a proper remaster. -
I actually don't know if my copy is a repress, probably it is, I got it today 4th of June of 2022, from Amazon and I'm spinning it on a Fluance RT85 And I gotta say, the sound is pretty good.
I consider myself a very picky listener, I like albums to sound "atmospheric and open" if that makes any sense.
You can really listen to the songs in detail, they sound pretty good and not compressed, It could be a little better but I guess the way this album was recorded was not the best, the tendency at the time it was released was not good when it comes to recordings but the music is way to good to make you wanna dance and songs pretty beautiful on vinyl, I'd say it's worth it. -

Anyone know if this sounds any better than the original 2011 pressing? Seems like a remaster but that doesn't necessarily mean it's improved.
